This depends on the size of the organization, the STOKE standard you’re using, how mature your sustainability program is, how proactive you are, and what level of certification you want to achieve.
For STOKE Surf and STOKE Snow Members who are just starting out on their sustainability journey, this can take between 6 months to two years with most new members getting certified within one year. Organizations who already pass minimum requirements for certification with current practices can be certified within three months or less, but most organizations in this position try to increase their score to a higher level of certification.
For STOKE Events, ideally, your organization has 6 months to a year to prepare, but your team can prepare for certification in three months or less and we have seen events get certified with only six weeks of preparation.
